Workplace Scenarios 👷 Role-Plays for Practical English [948]

In this fun and practical episode I demonstrate realistic workplace English through improvised role-play conversations. Designed to help you boost your vocabulary, listening skills, and confidence in professional settings, this episode features six humorous and educational role-play scenarios in workplaces like a factory, office, supermarket, and a shop. Listen to me improvising with ChatGPT and see if it can keep up with some ridiculous ideas.

On the factory floor (machine safety, reporting problems)
In customer service situations (handling complaints, helping customers)
In business meetings (asking questions, expressing concerns)
During negotiations (discussing discounts, bulk orders, and... owls?)

Authentic-sounding dialogues
A wide range of workplace vocabulary (including phrasal verbs, idioms & formal phrases)
Language for health & safety, giving instructions, asking for clarification, and being polite but assertive
Plus: a full vocabulary list is included in the episode notes to help you review and remember all the useful expressions.
